Running from the law after a bank robbery in Mexico, Dad Longworth finds an opportunity to take the stolen gold and leave his partner Rio to be captured. Years later, Rio escapes from the prison where he has been since, and hunts down Dad for revenge. Dad is now a respectable sheriff in California, and has been living in fear of Rio's return.

This is Brando at the peak of his acting talent as RIO the revenge seeking escaped convict. This adult western is tops in my opinion. Karl Malden plays a great villian as Dad. Who thought the honest cop in 'Streets of San Francisco' could be such a rotten guy.

This movie is well directed by Brando, his only. Wonder why he didn't direct more.

B-T-W, this movie as been available on those cheap PD DVDs for a long time; so what's the problem?
